Gotta Have Friends

Excuse any typos.

King in mm.

Next Day.

Cierra.

"Here's your stuff make sure you show up to practice on time tomorrow" Ashley handed Diamond her a duffle bag with her name on it. The duffle bag was pretty heavy. It had about three practice uniforms in it, three different uniforms for parades, two cheer uniforms in it, one for home games and one for away games, two sets of pom poms, basketball cheer uniforms also one for home games and one for away, cheer sneakers, one for games and or pair for strictly practice, she had a lot of bows in there and different color hair ties and scrunchies. I mean it was a LOT of shit in there.

"Thanks" she took her stuff and left to go wait outside.

Ashley looked at me and rolled her eyes. "She only made it because of you"

"No she didn't. She was good."

"Girl. Diamond was trash. Her toe touch wasn't even high"

"Ok? Yours isn't high."

"It is high!"

"Not as high as it should be" I shrugged.

"Whatever. It's higher than hers. She shouldn't even be on this team" she rolled her eyes.

"Stop talking about her. Seriously. Before I make you run the whole practice tomorrow" I started grabbing my stuff.

"You wouldn't do that..."

I grabbed my book bag and threw it over my shoulder and picked up my cheer bag. I stood and looked at her. "Try me."

"But you talk about her that's not fair"

"She's my sister. I can. You can't. End of discussion" I said as I walked out.

I went outside and sat on the steps with Diamond. "You ok?"

She just looked at me and liked back at her phone. "You don't have to talk to me just because mom yelled at you last night"

Yea. My mom cussed my ass flat out last night just for not talking to Diamond in school. She doesn't talk to me so I don't talk to her. But whatever I guess.

"Look. You told her I don't talk to you and that you don't have friends or whatever soooo"

"Actually I didn't say anything. King told her and she asked me about it but I didn't say anything so...like I said you don't have to talk to me just because mom told you to."

"Diamond, seriously you make it way harder for people to actually talk to you. Stop being so damn stubborn all the time and maybe you'll gain some friends"

She looked at me and got up. "Cierra just leave me alone"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever"

Lily pulled up and we both got in her car and she pulled off to our house.

Lily.

"So how was everyone's day?" I tried to make conversation while I drove.

"How did you get your car back?" Cierra asked me.

"Oh I didn't...my keys were in my moms drawer and she's not home right now so...."

"How do you know she won't be home when you get there"
